The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Hearing Nether Nine's cold words "See you another day", the three men in black couldn't breathe. They had never thought that Nether Nine had something so important that he would decisively refuse the opportunity to meet their Pavilion Master.

Their hearts and lungs, affected by the pressure from the Lord of Hell, were beginning to feel severe pain.

"Get out of the way." Youming Jiuzhong clenched the reins tightly with his hands, and all he could think about was the medical concubine in the capital. The aura of murder was bursting from his whole body.

"Yes..." The three men in black shuddered and quickly stepped aside. They had thought about using force to "invite" the Lord of Hell back if it really didn't work, but now it seemed that it was more important to save their lives first. The Netherworld Nineth Layer, who was so majestic in the martial arts world, was not a big shot that they could afford to provoke.

The sound of galloping horses' hooves was heard, and in the blink of an eye, the figure of Youming Jiuchong disappeared from sight.

In a loft at the end of a street in the capital, a man dressed like a shopkeeper bent over and spoke toward a curtain in the inner room.

"Pavilion Master, will the Lord of Hell really come?"

Suddenly, a voice with a hint of sinister energy was heard from behind the curtain.

"Yes, Youming Jiuchong will come." Sooner or later, he will meet Youming Jiuchong. It's just a matter of time...

"Yes, I understand." The shopkeeper nodded respectfully, without any doubt about the intention of the person in the room.

A gust of wind blew by, the door curtain covered with glass water droplets swayed, and a crisp collision sound was heard.

"Duan Yi, come in."

The man called "Duan Yi" responded and walked in quickly. "Master Qian."

"Duan Yi, is there any new news from the Netherworld Nine Layers?"

"To reply Pavilion Master, there is no information available today. But yesterday, the people from Mushi Jiuyou Pavilion sent a second batch of information. They said that they have found the whereabouts of the couple who adopted the young master. Not long after the young master died, the couple also died of a flu that broke out in the slums."

"Hmm." The person who asked the question just said "Hmm" and fell into a temporary silence.

Sure enough, just as Mu Shi Jiuyou Pavilion had speculated earlier, the old couple also passed away due to an accident.

A few days ago, Netherworld Nine sent someone to deliver information and clues related to the young master.

The Soul-stealing Yuanxi also sent people from the organization to investigate, and it was proven that what Youming Jiuchong found was correct.

The young master they had been looking for for more than two years had actually died when he disappeared two and a half years ago.

They received the case file of the young master's missing case, and then following the guidance of the killer Mu Shi, they found the young master's body and the iconic lotus bracelet.

In front of the desk, a young man was lying on a wooden chair with his back to Duan Yi. This man was the "Master Qian" that Duan Yi respectfully called him.

Pavilion Master Qian had already shown a look of extreme shock when he first heard Shopkeeper Duan report the latest news about the young master. Now that he heard the final message from someone related to the young master, he couldn't help but tremble.

The young master was gone, and the old couple who had contact with the young master were also gone, which meant that they could not find out about the young master's life from the old couple. And the Nether Nine had someone pass on the old couple's fate, also to tell them that the line of search from the old couple had been cut off.

When Pavilion Master Qian thought of the young master's corpse, his heart sank. He had heard so much news from the outside world since he came out of seclusion, but the news about the young master was what worried him the most.

Unexpectedly, the search turned out to be in vain.

Shopkeeper Duan noticed the depressed mood in the room and spoke carefully.

"Pavilion Master, Mushi Jiuyou Pavilion sent us a message, asking us for more information about the young master. Did the young master have any physical abnormalities before he went missing?"

Mu Shi's killer said in the letter that their King of Hell wanted to conduct an in-depth investigation into the cause of death of the young master, to see if he had any abnormal physical condition before he was lost, in order to determine whether the young master's death was caused by external human factors or his own physical factors.

Pavilion Master Qian was slightly startled. After thinking for a while, he said cautiously, "I am not sure whether the young master is physically healthy."

"However, I have sent people to investigate and also sent people to the Eastern Empire to question them. I think we will receive the results soon..."

They were commissioned not only to find the young master, but also to find out what happened before and after the young master disappeared. The young master was dead, but that didn't mean the investigation was over.

Pavilion Master Qian kept his back to Shopkeeper Duan and tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers.

He could feel that his heart was very heavy. When he thought of the journey of searching for the young master, and then thought of the young master's small corpse, a feeling of aches and pains would emerge in his heart.

Youyou sighed and asked Shopkeeper Duan, "Has the report letter written by this Pavilion Master been sent out?"

"My Lord, I have already sent someone to deliver it to the Eastern Empire."

Pavilion Master Qian sighed silently again. He never sighed like this before. He said in an emotionless tone: "Just inform her. I'm afraid that she will be like me and cannot bear the consequences of the young master..."

...

On the other side, Ye Xiaohan took off the ghost mask, but still wore the black veil on his head and continued on his way without stopping.

As the Red Hare galloped, his thoughts also soared.

In fact, for the sake of convenience, he is now just using the killer of the Hades Palace as an intermediary, and using the identity of the Ninth Layer of the Netherworld to connect with the people of the Soul-Stealing Yuanxi.

That is, the people of Soul-Taker Yuanxi did not know that the person who finally found the whereabouts of the young master was actually him with two identities.

Therefore, the people of Soul Stealer Yuanxi are now inviting the Netherworld Nineth Layer of Mushi, not the Regent of Zhongyue. For now, they think it is the young master that Netherworld Nineth Layer has found.

He was also a little surprised that the Soul Stealer Yuanxi's people were so anxious that they immediately sent people to find him as soon as they received the clues about the young master that he had sent over. Originally, he planned to wait until he returned to the capital and then negotiate with the Soul Stealer Yuanxi's people after some time.

In addition to being slightly surprised by the Soul-Snatching Yuanxi's unusually anxious mentality, Ye Xiaohan was also slightly surprised by how much the Soul-Snatching Yuanxi cared about the Young Master's incident.

You know, Soul-stealing Yuanxi receives many commissioned tasks every year, but none of them is as urgent and concerned as it is now about the incident of the young master.

The matter of investigating people is nothing more than the work of the killers in the killer organization. At most, some middle and high-level consuls also participate. With these people to complete the task, there is no need to mobilize the Pavilion Master himself.

But now, the leader of the Soul Stealing Pavilion has directly exposed his identity, and has taken the initiative to intervene in the investigation of the young master, and is even anxious to invite Youming Jiuchong to meet him.

At this moment, Ye Xiaohan had a vague feeling that the Pavilion Master was extremely concerned about the bounty on the young master.

First, the Soul-Snatching Pavilion Master is likely to have some relationship with the young master. Second, the Soul-Snatching Pavilion Master is likely to have some connection with the person who is looking for the young master.

Ye Xiaohan figured out this train of thought and quickly stopped thinking. He would make more plans when he returned to the capital.

Right now, there is one most important thing in his mind...
